In a few years, virtual reality may be a commonplace escape into a land of fantasy and illusion. For now, as a sort of small first step, there is Pokémon Go, a game that's been reconfigured into a high-tech sport for all using augmented reality.

The Pokemon Go app lets you take a sneak peak at what the future will bring us when it comes to truly immersive experiences.
